A propulsive assembly of an aircraft comprises a junction fairing, ensuring a continuity between a nacelle and a pylon, which comprises a fixed frame, linked to the nacelle and/or to the pylon by a link system configured to absorb any deformations and/or misalignments between the nacelle and the pylon in operation, which has an outer wall comprising an opening, a cowl, mobile between a closed position in which the cowl blocks the opening, and an open position in which the cowl at least partially frees the opening, which has a panel, the outer wall of the fixed frame and the panel of the cowl having outer surfaces which form the aerodynamic surface of the junction fairing. An aircraft is also provided which comprises at least one such propulsive assembly.

The present disclosure concerns an acoustic attenuation panel for an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle and a method for manufacturing this panel. The acoustic attenuation panel includes an alveolar central core interposed between an acoustic front skin comprising perforations and a rear skin, the acoustic attenuation panel including a front structure and a rear structure. The front structure includes the acoustic front skin and a first network of alveolar walls, the rear structure including the rear skin and a second network of alveolar walls, the first and second networks of alveolar walls being complementary so as to form, in an assembled position, the alveolar central core, the front structure and the rear structure being positioned opposite to each other and so that the network of alveolar walls of a structure is spaced from the skin of the other structure facing it by a clearance d.

An anterior part of a nacelle of an aircraft propulsion unit. A rigidifying frame annular about a longitudinal axis of extension of the nacelle is at the rear end of the anterior part. An annular shield is in front of the rigidifying frame and connects an internal peripheral edge of the rigidifying frame to an internal structure. The shield has a portion extending towards the external panel beyond the internal peripheral edge of the rigidifying frame, the portion forming a non-zero angle with respect to the rigidifying frame to form a free space with respect to the rigidifying frame behind the portion. The shield can thus deform in the event of an impact of a foreign object entering through the air inlet lip, without the rigidifying frame itself being deformed, thereby absorbing all or some of the impact energy. A nacelle can have such an anterior part, and an aircraft can have such a nacelle.

A motor driven propulsor of an aircraft includes magnets disposed in fan shrouds of fan blades connected with a fan hub, a stator having individual conductive coils in a nacelle located radially outside of the fan hub, and a distributed inverter assembly having several inverter power stages and gate drivers, each of the inverter power stages coupled with a separate gate driver of the gate drivers and a separate coil of the coils in the stator. Each of the gate drivers is configured to individually control supply of direct current to the corresponding inverter power stage. Each of the inverter power stages is configured to convert the direct current supplied to the inverter power stage to an alternating current that is supplied to the corresponding coil in the stator to rotate the magnets and the fan blades around a center line of the fan hub for propelling the aircraft.

Aircraft nacelles having adjustable chines are described. An example apparatus includes a multi-segment chine having a first segment and a second segment. The first segment is fixedly coupled to a nacelle. The second segment is rotatable relative to the first segment about an axis of rotation. The axis of rotation is substantially perpendicular to a local area of an outer surface of the nacelle.

This present disclosure relates generally to propulsion systems and, more particularly, to adaptive ducted fan propulsion systems for use with aircraft such as unmanned aerial vehicles. Embodiments of ADF systems in accordance with the present disclosure feature automatic, fast operation, increase the intake section of the air mass fed to a propeller, and can increase thrust by 35%-40% as compared to existing ducted fans.

A rotary wing aircraft has a nacelle, at least one rotor provided with at least one blade, a braking device to stop the rotation of the rotor, an emergency parachute provided with a canopy and with a rope, a rocket to start the extraction of the canopy from the nacelle, two operating devices to operate the braking device and the rocket, respectively, and a single actuator device to operate both the operating devices.
